Maybe that Frappuccino Had More Caffeine Than I Thought...

Prior to today, my only experience with caffeine was chocolate... Keep that in mind :)

1:45-2:30: Organize calculus notes/quizzes during 7th Period JV Swimming
3:30-4:20: Study calculus at home
4:30-7:00: Study calculus at Barnes and Noble with Taylor.
7:30-8:45: Bible Study
9:15-12:15 AM: Study calculus.

About 5:00 I felt myself crashing. Thanks to dissecting a cat in anatomy my stomach had been all out of wack because of skipping lunch in an attempt to keep whatever was in my body... IN my body and not in a trashcan! I knew I had a long night of studying ahead of me if I had any hope at passing this calculus test tomorrow, so figured I might try my first ever coffee. Yes, FIRST ever.

Barnes and Noble has a Starbucks in there, so I went up an ordered the smallest size Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. (did you know the smallest size is a large?! And that if your family has a B&N membership you get 50% off drinks? [or maybe the guy just felt really bad for us because of the 20 of us there in our study groups attempting to learn something/anything about calculus]?)

It tasted just like a milkshake for the most part, nothing to become addicted to by any means. I'd much rather a Sonic or Chickfila milkshake, but whatevers.

8 hours later... I now understand! I'm not "wired" per-say, but you would think after 6.5 hours of studying calculus that one would be tired. NOPE! I mean, my bottom hurts from sitting down all day and all afternoon and all evening... but typically by about 11 I'm ready to collapse in bed.

So... was it the frappuccino that allowed me to survive till 12:50 AM? Or just the sheer determination to learn my OWN math homework since the past week has been spent in 8th grade Algebra 1 Math World with Kole, and 3rd Grade Geometry World with my Ready, Set, Teach! class? I have no idea. But I do know that my LAST 5:40 swim practice is tomorrow morning (or today) and my alarm is going off in 4 hours. Uh-oh.

This caffeine better kick in tomorrow morning, or else I'm going to be dragging all day!

Goodnight :)
